Hi Kumar, thanks for you report, and sorry for not looking into it for so long.

Isn't that a bug in dpkg? On the other hand, I have a question regarding 10tetex-base.cfg. tetex-base is now only a transitional package. We already have code in the TeXLive packages which "handles" this file: It is made ineffective, but renamed into 10tetex-base.cnf.obsolete. This was done on purpose, because this conffile might contain local changes which are still valuable for the local admin, although there's no way for an automatic taking over to some "current" conffile. I feel that this should be a valid reason to keep a file around after a transition. Did you discuss similar situations in the context of this release goal? Whom could I ask for advice?
